- *Delta*. The server looks in a clients backlog of snapshots to find a previous acked snapshot. It then compares the two snapshots and creates a delta snapshot containing the changes from the previous acked snapshot to the new one.
- *Variable Integers*. The delta snapshot which is only consisting of 32-bit integers is then encoded into variable integers similar to UTF-8. Each byte has a bit that tells the decoder that it needs one more byte to decode the 32-bit integer. The first byte also contains a bit for telling the sign of the integer.
